Pages of icons. That's... It...
One button. Not four, or three, or two.
While iOS may well be 'simpler' than Android, this does not make the case. At least as far as I'm concerned, I think that having a dedicated back button makes things simpler, not more complicated.
My battery had been able to hold a charge awesomely. I do not even lose 1% of the charge overnight. It holds a charge better than any other phone I have had so far.
The Nexus 4 does *hold* charge well. When being actually used, battery life could be better. But I always carry an external portable charger with me, as I'm a little paranoid about battery life, so this isn't a big issue with me.
And the other flip of the coin is, apple knows if they were to open imessage and facetime to other platforms they would lose SO MANY users.
Truer words were never spoken. The difference in approach for Google and Apple is noteworthy. Apple makes money from a closed system, and focuses on locking users in. Google, on the other hand, makes data its business, and opens up its apps to other platforms. Hangouts, Maps, Drive, Gmail are all apps available on iOS. By letting iOS users use Google apps without being on Google's platform, Google gets to collect more data - data it uses for targeted advertising - and advertisers find that invaluable and worth paying Google big bucks for. Google is basically getting Apple's customers' data - probably more than Apple is - and there is not a thing Apple can do about it.
